Also had a good idea on modifying the water outlets. the thermostat (and heater hose) housing hanging off the back of the block has to go so i think i will fabricate just a flat plate with 90 degree bends to replace it (and slim it down to clear the firewall) then a section of hose running round the side of the block to a section of copper (or similar) pipe which leads to where i will remote mount the thermostat housing on an ally plate bolted to the cross member or something then to the radiator. it'll be good.... i hope
I have plates/outlets to suit the 20V RWD conversion - $150. Includes a rear plate that is machined so water can flow from one side of the head to the other and is also tapped for the sensors, a plate to block the rear exh. side outlet, an outlet for your top rad hose and a T-piece for either heater hose or thermostat bypass. If you use a 4AC pump and thermostat housing (bolts straight on) you don't need to run a remote t'stat.
You do realise that the distributor is still going to be protruding right? Unless you are planning to go aftermarket ECU with coil-packs or a DLI kit.
